Acrylamide, Applied During Pregnancy and Postpartum Period in Offspring Rats, Significantly Disrupted Myelination by Decreasing the Levels of Myelin-Related Proteins: MBP, MAG, and MOG.

Acrylamide (ACR) is a colorless, odorless, and water-soluble solid molecule. In addition to being an important industrial material, ACR is found in fried and baked carbohydrate-rich foods. ACR is regarded as a typical axonal neurotoxin that induces neuropathy.

Protective effect of short-term thymoquinone administration on the central nervous system in cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the potential beneficial effects of thymoquinone (TQ) on brain tissue based on biochemical and histopathological analyses in cisplatin (CIS) treated rats with central nervous system (CNS) neurotoxicity.

Materials And Methods: The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 rats in each group (n:8). Group 1: (Control), saline was administered for 3 days at a volume of 0.

Cucurbitacin D Inhibits the Proliferation of HepG2 Cells and Induces Apoptosis by Modulating JAK/STAT3, PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK Signaling Pathways.

Background: Cucurbitacin D (CuD) is a natural compound that can be isolated in various plant families, mainly from Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich.

Effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester use and inhibition of p42/44 MAP kinase signal pathway on caveolin 1 gene expression and antioxidant system in chronic renal failure model of rats.

Effects of Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and/or PD98059 (PD) on the gene expression of Caveolin-1 (CAV1) and reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities were investigated in an experimental chronic renal failure model in rats. Eighty Wistar rats were divided into eight groups for a 28-day study: Control, CsA (Cyclosporine A), CsA-V (CsA solvent), CsA + PD (CsA + PD98059), CsA + PD + CAPE, CsA + CAPE, CAPE-V (CAPE solvent), and PD-V (PD98059 solvent). Serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, as well as histopathological findings indicated the development of renal failure in the CsA group.
